Any chance we could persuade you to use the actual Hugo Award logo to illustrate the story? You don’t need the permission of WSFS to use the Hugo logo when illustrating a story about the Hugo Awards, and we actually prefer it if you use the actual official logo rather than other logos that other people have drawn. Thanks.
